Newest car I have ever owned

Just the right size no blind spots. Everything I need in comfortable reach. Love the gas mileage I get per fill-up, I love the quiet smooth ride.

Fantastic car

I've been car shopping for a while and finally decided on the Kia Rio. I'm young and I needed a newer car, and this one is perfect for me! Great gas mileage, comfortable, lots of leg room too. So glad I got it!

very roomy

I like the comfort and roominess of the interior. Car has good pick up when you step on the gas. Good visibility, very little blind spots.

little tank

LOVE IT! Second Rio (the older one still driven by my husband everyday to work) we've purchased, and when it was time to downsize my car, thought we'd check another one. Super nice to drive, great maneuvering. We don't need a lot of gadgets, bells, or whistles, so it is a pared down one, but a fun car to drive.

Car driving experience is very comfortable

The look and feel of the car is elegant and fancy but like "everyday" people. I went from driving a stick shift bare essentials vehicle to an automatic "bells & whistles " car. This being a big change for me the Kia really has helped that process.
